Aesthetics: 3D

Generative design often finds shape in frac- tal-like objects produced by CNC milling machines and 3D printers. Not just for addicted fanatics, they are also useful in case you need to replace a part of your ancient vacuum cleaner you can’t order any- more. 3D printers offer the ability to print parts and assemblies made of several materials with different mechanical and physical properties in a single build process. The technology generates its own aesthetics. In a way it brings to mind the early days of Flash, or, for that matter, embroidery.
